F Bass WOHOO!!!! sorta

Well, as my sig says I ordered a FBass BNF 5 and was gonna wait out the three or so months until it got here.
I found out yesterday that for what ever reason when I first contacted F Bass (and then had a chance to swing into their shop) George must have liked what I was ordering option wise (or read my posts here at good ol' TB!) because he want ahead and started building one exactly like what I wanted to order before my order was even placed.
SO....It will be here in 2-3 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!
Could be just weird luck on my part or he liked the color and options and thought to build it anyway.
Just wanted to brag a little, sorry!

OH MAN! Do you have any idea how lucky you are? Blessed, whatever you want to call it. That is AMAZING! I can't wait to hear your review. I can't really play fretless, but one day while at a Bass Shop, I picked up a BNf 5 string and I was blown away at how easy it was to play. It had that GREAT Mwah tone that you want from a fretless.A BNf5 is definitely on my GAS short list.

Are you getting it with the active 3-band preamp? What are the spcifics on the bass you ordered? Color, top, Preamp, bridge etc? - Gary

Hi Guy!

You're so lucky!
I ordered mine at the start of july and I will receive it in december or february!
You're damn lucky.....
But Congrats...

Cliff , that reminds me, the other day an old Gypsy woman called me over- she said she saw a lot of character in my face..
she asked to see my hand, she said she could tell i have been hurt once or twice in my life, i answered " who hasn't? "
she told me she could tell my fortune for a fee.. i told her i did not believe in that, I am a Christian.
Later , I thought " if she were that good a psychic, she should have known she wasn't going to get any money from me ..."
yes, i would be nice if luthiers could see the future ! i am having a hard enough time understanding the present !

3 weeks. Thats going to be a record. I think my BNF5 took somewhere between 6 and 7 months. My BN5 took 8.

congrats. you must have something going that GF just really wants to get out and get a review on

Well, it's because I'm a freakin' amazing player thats why!! I think I just got lucky with what I wanted and hemust have liked it 'cause he just went ahead and started with the notion that it's gonna sell (I assume). I just happened to get EXTREAMLY lucky!!!

Here are the specs. But it's nothing unusual for a BNF 5 as far as I can tell.
Alder body with ash center block.
Reverse headstock, 2+3 instead of 3+2 for a longer B string (for tension/feel, not actual length)
Transparent blue burst with matching headstock and pick-upcovers.
F Bass pick-ups and F Bass pre-amp.
Unlined fingerboard with dots from the 12th fret up between the D & G strings.
Nothing really out of the norm on it. pretty much all somewhat standard options from what I could tell.

While scientifically, the length behind the nut and behind the saddle will not actually affect string tension or feel, there is a perceived difference. There. I said it, just so we have no debate. I find that debate tiring as all hell, and I grow sicker and tireder every time I see it happen, because that's ALWAYS the conclusion.

That said, I love your picks. Nice job on the specs, it sounds excellently sweet.
